Chris Jones denied he had anything to do with the disappearance of his wife Heather Palumbo-Jones, who was last seen Monday night. He spoke without emotion after a hearing for divorce proceedings for the couple.More >>

He told Action News 5 that he was blind sided when she filed for divorce.

"We were a very happy beautiful family right up until the day before she decided to leave abruptly," he said.

The two separated in early January. Heather also filed for an order of protection from her husband. He claims the order of protection stemmed from a minor argument over a phone.

While the family picks up the pieces, they worry about the two children left behind.

"It's very difficult the children don't know what's going on and when they find out it's going to be a shock to them," said Frank.

Frank said if Jones is his granddaughter's killer he can forgive him with time.

"I don't hold any grudges, but if he's the culprit they ought to take care of him with the laws," said Frank.

The Achievement School District, which employed Jones, released the following statement Wednesday:

Today, we are grieving from the loss of Heather Jones, one of our teachers--and a great human being who filled our schools with joy.

We were notified earlier that we lost Heather. She was a Kindergarten teacher at Frayser Achievement Elementary School. Heather was a model teacher, bringing the love and joy of life and learning to her students and fellow teachers daily. She brought a spirit to the Frayser community that will never be replaced. Her dedication to her students was evident in everything she did, and her legacy will live with us forever. Our thoughts and prayers are with Heather's children and family--and the entire Frayser Elementary community--at this difficult time.
